Current Exhibition

CURRENT EXHIBITION: Northern Landscapes

26th Jan to 4th June 2109

Living in Garstang we love the countryside. This exhibition showcases the work of two of our local landscape painters - Jill Colquhoun and Terry Hird.

Artist Jill Colquhoun from Yealand Conyers near Carnforth is adept in using different media to depict the landscape around her.

She has delevoped a novel techinique combining batik methods with acrylic paint to create stunning meadows full of sunny buttercups with astonishing depth and detail. In contrast her seascapes of the iconic Morecambe bay are watercolours.

We are delighted to be showing a collection of paintings by Terry Hird again who comes from Burton in Lonsdale. Being close to the three peaks - one or more, particularly Ingleborough feature in his landscapes. He has a graphic style suited to depicting patterns and form in the landscape, particulary rocky terrain & features.

Simone Noble is a ceramics maker from the north east who has created sheep and highland cows in various ways- singles, pairs, in walled circles, peering over gates.
